Note: This is a *pre-release* version, and you should be sure to BACK UP YOUR GALLERY *before* installing and upgrading your current Gallery. Read on for information on how to back up critical data...

We have provided a small PHP script with this version to assist you in making a backup. When you download and decompress this release, the script will be located in:
    gallery/setup/backup_albums.php
To run this script, put your Gallery into configuration mode, install the new software over your exising Gallery installation and copy backup_albums.php out of its location in the setup directory and into your existing main Gallery directory. Run this script from your browser. It will package the important album data and save a backup to your computer, in one of two formats: .tar.gz (useful on Unix/Linux systems) or .zip (useful on Windows systems).

The script gives you the option of backing up your entire albums ("All files") directory or just the Gallery database files ("Data files only"). While you should have a backup copy of all your photos, for most upgrades, it is sufficient to just back up the data files only. Note that backing up all the files could produce a *huge* file, since all of your photos will be included.

Finally, verify the contents of the downloaded backup file to make sure the files were indeed saved. Once you have the data files backed up, you can confidently proceed with reconfiguring your Gallery and updating your albums. Make sure you remove the copy of backup_albums.php from the Gallery directory, so visitors can't make a copy of your entire Gallery!

Can someone point me to documentation on phpBB integration? I was looking at what is supported and how it is used, Didn't see anything on the site anywhere....of course I could just be having a stupid night. :-)<br />

Does this Gallery work with phpbb2 2.06? I'd like to know how hard/easy it will be to integrate this gallery into my existing site. I have a very old html art gallery up on the site and a new phpbb2 forum and I'd like to merge the two using some sort of gallery package like yours but I'm not a php programer at all. you can check out my website at http://www.lostin3d.com/ to see my php forum there click on the forum link to the left in the frame below my mugshot.

Gallery 1.4.3 should integrate with phpBB2 2.0.6-2.0.8 right out of the "box." Consult the file gallery/contrib/phpBB2/HowTo.txt in the file you download for instructions on setting it all up.
